WHERE TO GO IN PERU
From the charming city of Cusco to the jagged peaks of the Andes Mountains, explore Peru's best regions and learning more about the country's highlights.
Cusco
Once the capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco is the cultural heart of Peru and the gateway to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. This high-altitude city blends Inca heritage with Spanish colonial charm, where ancient stone foundations support grand cathedrals and narrow cobbled streets. From private market tours with a professional chef to discovering local artisans and hidden restaurants, Cusco offers an immersive introduction to Peru’s rich history, vibrant culture and enduring Andean spirit.
Sacred Valley
Located at the foot of the Andes mountains, the Sacred Valley combines breathtaking scenery with Peru’s rich Inca heritage. Its lower altitude and well-preserved ruins make it an ideal place to begin exploring the history and culture of the Inca Empire. Adventure seekers have a beautiful playground with a wide variety of options, from biking to horseback riding to hiking, while history buffs will be captivated by the circular terraces of Moray, the ancient salt pans of Maras and the traditional villages and terraced farmland still worked today.
Inca Trail
The Inca Trail is Peru’s most iconic trek, winding through cloud forests, high-altitude mountain passes and ancient Inca ruins on the journey to Machu Picchu. Following centuries-old stone pathways through the heart of the Andes, the trail passes terraced valleys, dramatic landscapes and secluded archaeological sites, and offers sweeping views across the Sacred Valley. The experience culminates at the Sun Gate, where the first sunrise over Machu Picchu reveals one of South America’s most unforgettable sights. A journey that feels both humbling and exhilarating, the Inca Trail is a testament to human ingenuity and the enduring power of nature, and is often considered the ultimate gateway to Peru’s ancient Incan heritage.
Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is Peru’s most iconic landmark. Perched 8,200 feet above sea level and covering over five square miles, the ruins overlook lush rainforest in the heart of the Peruvian Andes. Built at the height of the Inca Empire, the ancient citadel showcases a striking harmony between dramatic natural surroundings and extraordinary stone architecture and is a must-see UNESCO World Heritage Site for anyone visiting Peru. Explore Machu Picchu with a private guide, arriving aboard the elegant Hiram Bingham train or by trekking the legendary Inca Trail, including shorter routes from kilometer 104. Whether reached by rail or on foot, Machu Picchu is an unforgettable highlight of any Peru journey.
Lima
Foodies will delight in the world-class gastronomy in the modern-day capital of Lima as they journey through Peru on a private tour. With an astounding mix of indigenous, Spanish, and even Asian cultures, as well as access to both the unusual ingredients of the Amazon and fresh seafood from the Pacific Ocean, it’s no surprise Lima is a hot spot in the culinary scene. The Spanish influence can also be seen in colonial sites and fascinating museums throughout the city.
Peruvian Amazon
For nature lovers, Blue Parallel offers two ways to explore the lush Peruvian Amazon: on the water by luxury cruise or on land from an elegant eco-lodge. The colors and sounds of the Amazonian flora and fauna will dazzle visitors at both sunrise and sunset. On board the river cruise, a gourmet chef will be on hand to bring the mouth-watering delicacies of Peru to life. For guests who prefer a land-based luxury Peru tour, the Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica property allows for a more active exploration of the jungle via hikes on the jungle floor or from above on their Canopy Walkway for a privileged view of the rainforest.
Lake Titicaca
Although its claim to fame is its status as the world’s highest navigable lake, Lake Titicaca has much more to offer travelers willing to venture off the beaten path. Floating on its spectacular blue waters are the man-made reed islands of the indigenous Uru people. This stunning lake, nestled between the snowcapped peaks of the Andes, was also central to the beliefs of the Incan civilization as the birthplace of their powerful Sun god. Guests can experience this striking landscape and these extraordinary cultures in private using the five-star luxury hotel Titilaka as a base.
Arequipa & Colca Canyon
Known as Peru’s White City, Arequipa sits beneath towering Andean peaks and is celebrated for its elegant colonial architecture built from pale volcanic stone. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the city is home to grand plazas and monasteries, and fascinating museums such as Museo Santuarios Andinos, home to the famed ‘Ice Maiden’. Beyond the city, Arequipa is the gateway to the dramatic Colca Canyon, the deepest canyon in the Southern Hemisphere, where ancient terrace farming still shapes the landscape and soaring Andean condors make this region a highlight for nature lovers and birdwatchers alike.
Nazca Lines
Although the Inca might be the most famous, Peru has been home to a variety of indigenous cultures, including the Nazca. Experts believe the mysterious Nazca lines were mostly created by this culture of the same name. The lines, which vary from astonishing long and straight lines to depictions of animals, plants, and everyday objects, are best viewed from the air in a private plane, an exciting experience that can be a part of luxury travel in Peru. These massive ancient geoglyphs, whose purpose is still debated by scholars, were named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1994.
